Awesome video! Thanks again for posting! I've taken HD's apart knowing they would be destroyed in the process, and it's baffling how easy you make it look. I've struggled removing the head arm most of time and again, I wasn't the most gentle while doing so either. :)

Man I can't stop watching your videos. I have taken a leap of faith and brought a dozen or so hard drives to have a bit of a look and have a go at taking them apart. I know it is not going to be easy as you show it in your videos, but you never know unless you have a try and see what happens. Is there any other real tips or even just some basic info in like what say toshiba drive parts are compatable with other toshiba drives? or for any other brands? Thanks again for your great videos

Hi, Do you use new hard drives as "organs donor" (i don't know how I should call that in english) to fixing the broken ones? And if you do, those new hard drives can be reassembled and work fine? Also it's securely possible to use parts of broken HDs to attempt to recover the HDs of clients? Thanks.

Amazing. Bravo.

Great videos I'm learning a lot thank you. 2 questions: 1) I have a WD20EADS Black ext backup drive that dropped on a carpeted floor. Now it spins up but windows can no longer read. I looked for another new drive to use parts from but I notice the MFG date and DCM# is different. What are the chances that this drive's board and internal parts will work for repair? 2) I'm comfortable learning anything technical and would like to persue leaning hard drive repair. I have about 50 drives (and several computers) I've accumlated over time and would like to teach myself as much as possible. My question is, what is the best place t0 buy the CORRECT tools, adapters, clean environment cabints etc. ? Thanks!

Interesting and informative Thanks

Hey man...! I want to know that which software do you use to check HDD.

greeting! when replacing the disc cue head must be all from the same hard disk manufacturer or can it be a cache of any one? but with the assumption that electronics and electronics have changed?

I have one question, if ur drive has a read head with multiple layers u put some kind of plastic inbetween them. Is that plastic always specifically big or of specific material? I want to try swapping the read head of my hdd.

I have an issue with a dead toshiba laptop drive, its does not spin up or read at all, on the inside the motor moves freely, platters look good, the heads look fine, and the pcb has no damage? Any idea what could be the problem!

Thanks!

Hy.I'm from Croatia and would like to know a few questions if possible.BTW just found about you and just subed!Amazing skills and video.About the qustions.I have a Hitachi 3.5" 640gb hdd and its doing that famous death clicking.Opened it up to see and it's scratched circularly from the head and the scratch is at the inner end of the disc,almost at the very end.My conclusion is that theres alot of data before the end to be recovered so thats why I kept the drive for so long waiting for the tech to get better.Seeing you it did!So can some data be recovered and what would be the price?On the drive its not more than half on it to be recovered maybe arround 200gb.P.S.The data to be recovered its all pics and videos of my dearest memories of my life and a majority of my ex girlfriend and me.Thanks in advance.Zoki.

bruh why is everybody cheerful bruh

help: i unstuck the head of my expansion drive but when i connect it to the pc, the head can't go on top of the disc?

Thank you for the interesting video. May I ask you some questions? 1) Why are you actually moving the U12 IC from one PCB to another? With PC3k you can read the ROM of the passport drive with the Serial Interface and write it with the SATA Interface to the SATA PCB. I think, it's much faster then the chip transfer. And you can reuse the SATA PCB more times. 2) On the first WD Blue drive you did't use the HDD Surgery Ramps, but just heat shrink tubes. Is there a reason? 3) May be you can help me a little bit with one case. Currently I have a WD Passport drive with the wd20nmvw-11AV3S0 HDD inside. This drive has 8 heads. One (afaik 7 of 8) is not reading at all. I tried to get a cheap donor drive, but it was impossible. The price is about 200-300$ for a working drive. On the other hand you can get 2TB Notebook drives for about 60$. How are you handling such cases and finding a donor?

@hddrecoveryservices

hey, awesome questions. 1) just a habit, but I should really start doing it the solderless way. 2) I will check the family of the blue drive and post in here on Monday, but they do have a 2 disk ramp in that kit that lines up with that family 3) as long as the family is the same donor should work regardless of the spec. I use desktop donors all the time, as long as they have a SATA version of the same PCB they are really good to me. Then there is also this: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lIJs19mPZ9jKpKw.html but I have not ran into a swap case where I needed to perform such adaptation. Like I said WD is very good for taking parts as long as family is same.

Hello, just a theoretical question; how similar is heads from different manufacturers? i assume there will be some difference, but from afar, they look rather alike. Do HDD manufacturer make their own heads or do they reuse latest standards so to say?

I have a 2.5" drive that just makes a constant loud click, what do you think the most likely problem is with it? Stuck head, bad board?

Excellent video. I have a question, and thanks in advance: You recommend R-Studio in the description. During the last couple of days I have been playing with its demo and some other data recovery programs. The GUI looks indeed very technical focused, but I have not found it superior than other programs like for example Getdataback in what it can find on different data-loss situations. Do you think that R-Studio is really that good compared to the other offers for rescuing data from logical failures? What do you think it is that makes it so special? I really value a professional opinion like yours on this topic. You find too much rubbish on the review lists published on the internet. Most of these articles with review ranking lists are already payed upfront by one company.

Thorz r-studio supports almost every single operating system, it has virtual Raid reconstruct or with auto detect, it can link to a deepspar imager, or can create images while skipping bad sectors. The list goes on. I prefer UFS explorer to RStudio for my own work, but for consumer RStudio is as best as it gets. I haven't used getdataback for nearly a decade because last I've used it it was crappy.

I have a HDD where the heads have crashed onto the drive and created a large scratch. Is there still any way of recovering any of the other data? Do you have a video on how you recovered data from such a drive?

@hddrecoveryservices

7 жыл бұрын

possibly, but this is not for video capturing type of case. Usually, those cases requier amputation of heads on scratched levels, disk cleansing if needed, multiple head replacement, lots of swearing, and tons of patience. On ocasion we get cases like this, but there is a lot of elements in the process. If you have a scratched drive and need your data, you need to take it to a pro. Watching video and seeing how it is done is not going to help.

My hard drive arm keeps moving back and forth and beeping sometimes. It's like it's trying to find something. In disk management it was black so I did whatever to turn it blue but it never completed so I gave up. Kept saying formatting but it never finished. A 1 foot drop in a box killed it.

how much do you charge for something like this?

Question.. what would be the issue of doing a head swap and trying to run the drive without using those fancy utilities like building a head map or imaging the drive. Why not just run it?

@hddrecoveryservices

4 жыл бұрын

what could go wrong if surgery is done without monitoring equipment? Surely enough in some conditions, it can be performed, but why would you want that? Hard drive after a head swap is not a brand new hard drive, and most of the time it will have problematic areas. Many things can go wrong. The operating system is not designed to work with failing hard drives. Disk imaging tools and utilities help to prep the drive for the safest extraction.

But browsing through the files is very very slow and I am unable to even play a single video. I can merely see what files are present within the disc.
